2. Optional software

IODBC (compile requirement for RLS) For a more complete list of RLS prerequisites, see Prerequisites for RLS.
- A Relational Database Server (RDBMS) that supports ODBC (we provide instructions for both PostgreSQL and MySQL [olink to appendix]):
  - If you use PostgreSQL, you'll also need psqlODBC (the ODBC driver for PostgreSQL).
  - If you use MySQL, you'll also need the MyODBC (Connector/ODBC) packages. MySQL's top level installation directory must be specified. By default these are assumed to be in $GLOBUS_LOCATION.
- The package is used to interface to the ODBC layer of the RDBMS. The location of iODBC and the odbc.ini file must be specified before installing the RLS server.
Tomcat (required by WebMDS, optional for other services) - Make sure to download it directly from the Apache web site.
gLite Java VOMS parsing libraries - binary available (compile requirement for Workspace Service)
